Quote:Yes, good point, the WCIU broadcasts were never part of it, so I assume neither will WLS, which means you get to know a lot of other team's announcers. For me though I like having the games on TV because I can record them and comfortably fast-forward. Has anyone used MLB.TV through something like a Roku or a Apple TV? I would try it via Roku this season to get the Cubs feed if it's easy to navigate through games, as I usually like to start a game an hour in or so to save time by fast forwarding through commercials and boring sections. </blockquote>

The issue with Extra Innings is they usually only show games from RSNs like CSN or FSN, and not local broadcast channels. They probably would not show Cubs broadcasts on WGN or WLS. So those WGN/WLS games would probably only be on EI under the opposing team's broadcast.
On the other hand, MLB.TV shows both teams' broadcast of every game, no matter what channel it's from.
One note with that is that I think at least the cable version of EI last year included an MLB.TV subscription. I didn't get that last year, but if they do it again, I might do it this year.
I have a Roku and have MLBTV, it was great. You can start the games from the beginning or pick an inning to start at. It is nice being able to listen to our own announcers. I may be biased, but, there are a lot of teams out there that have awful announcers. Honestly, I would recommend MLBTV over EI.

Perfect! I will make the switch this year. Thanks Kid and Runnys. Oh, can you fast forward easy as well? Like say through a pitchers at bat without jumping innings?
